Yellow Checks - Inspired by Louis Vuitton

This coat from Zara is inspired by the Louis Vuitton collection. I just love it and had to have it. I adore yellow and it cheers me up, especially during those dreary days like yesterday.

I appreciate a clutch that also has a strap. I hate going to dinner parties where I have food in one hand, a drink in another and trying to hold my handbag in a third that I don't have. This handbag helps when third hands are in short supply.

Pattern Play

First my big news - I am a member of Yorkdale Mall's (the best mall in Canada) Style Council. To say that I am excited, honoured, happy, pinch me I'm still dreaming doesn't describe how I'm feeling. I will be blogging for Yorkdale Mall and here is my introduction.

For those who have visited my blog you know that my "style" weakness is prints and print mixing. I'm not a big print fan so it's not a stretch that I'm not that great at print mixing. Well my friend Jane at Toronto Shopaholic is pushing me out of my comfort zone and here's to more prints in my future. She's hosting a print mixing blog hop that I'm part of.

Nancy from Cocoa Jewelry sent me these wrap bracelets in yellow, light blue (think Tiffany's) and cream. I am obsessed with them and am wearing them with everything.

The handbag is another one of my favourite from Danier. I was recently at an event at Yorkdale and was constantly asked about the bag. Everyone's first thought was Valentino and looks of shock and awe followed when I said Danier. An affordable LEATHER handbag that is trendy, stylish and accessible. Danier is stepping up their accessories game and I say RUN don't walk to your nearest Danier.

I look miserable in these pictures and I'm not. Not sure what happened.

Zamrie Skirt & White Tee

It's windy and cool in Toronto...this weather is killing me. Anyway, here is an outfit I wore when the weather was still seasonal. Hoping for warmer weather.

This Foxy Originals necklace is reversible! The back is gold and black and can be worn with the perfect LBD.

Casual in my Hush Puppies

As much as I love to wear heels I spend the majority of my life in flats, I have lots of flats in different colours and fabrications. When Hush Puppies sent me their Ceil moccasins in aqua I was ecstatic, the colour was perfect and they just looked so comfortable. I immediately wore them to my children's school to help with pizza day. Teacher's and other moms stopped me to ask about my shoes. They told me how much they loved the colour and asked me if they were comfortable. The answer - YES.

I wore them with no socks the first time and continued on to Costco and the mall to run other errands. Not a single blister or any issues there, my feet love these shoes. I was asked about the elastic backing and the first time I wore these shoes the elastic banding in the back did hurt. However, now that I've stretched them out they are the perfect casual shoe. For today's outfit post I paired these shoes with colour. It's spring, why not?
